All but one dock will be pulled from the water at Lake McConaughy State Recreation Area. This is due to wind, ice and blowing sand.

The only boat ramp in service is at Diver’s Bay. This dock will be pulled out when ice build-up on the lake or on the ramp and dock surface makes it unsafe to use. This dock also will be pulled halfway out of the water when forecasts call for winds to blow greater than 20 mph.
